I worked with the wincap code while porting Icon to Cygwin, and this work exposed another reason to replace wincap. Wincap was written in 1991 for Win 3.x, and it now contains many anachronisms.
- The wincap file I/O uses the pre-handle file API. - They include routines for reading / writing data in blocks larger than 0xFFFF, a problem that does not exist with the Win32 API. - The DIB handles are actually based on Win16 memory handles, a feature that has been seriously depreciated in Win32. Out of curiousity, I tried building the full wincap application with MSVC++ 6.0, and failed! Apparantly, the makefile that MS wrote for wincap includes command line switches that are no longer supported. A search for a more up-to-date replacement for wincap would therefore be worthwhile, copyright issues aside. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ Unicon-group mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unicon-group
